Gospel
text (Mathew11,20-24): Jesus
began to denounce the cities in which He had performed most of his miracles,
because the people there did not change their ways, «Alas for you Chorazin and
Bethsaida! If the miracles worked in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, the
people there would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I assure
you, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more bearable on the day of judgment than
for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? You will be
thrown down to the place of the dead! For if the miracles which were performed
in you had taken place in Sodom, it would still be there today! But I tell you,
it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you».
Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.
